Johnny Depp, Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio – all big Hollywood names, who have yet to win Academy Awards. Shocking right?

Leo told Yahoo Movies: "I can name 30 or 40 sequences that were some of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do.
"Whether it’s going in and out of frozen rivers, or sleeping in animal carcasses, or what I ate on set. I was enduring freezing cold and possible hypothermia constantly."
Well if living near enough to death conditions doesn’t win him an Oscar, maybe Leo should just give up acting.
Leo, who alongside Tom Hardy plays a 19th-century frontiersman who suffers a bear attack and is then buried and left for dead by a trapper, joked about his wilderness diet: "I certainly don’t eat raw bison liver on a regular basis.
"When you see the movie, you’ll see my reaction to it, because Alejandro [González] kept it in. It says it all. It was an instinctive reaction."
He also added that filming the bear scene, yep the one where he’s savagely attacked by the furry beast, was one of the most "difficult". We bloody bet it was.
"Those scenes - amongst many other sequences - were some of the more difficult things I’ve ever had to do in my entire career," he added.
"But the end result is going to be one of the most immersive experiences audiences will ever have, of what it would be like to come face-to-face with an animal of that magnitude that is incredibly primal."
So how about you check the trailer out HERE, and tell us if you think Leo deserves an Oscar now?
The Revenant will be in cinemas across the UK from December 25.
